emilymat Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I have only seen a couple of episodes of this programme, when I was in the UK staying with my son. I have to say that I found this guy pretty jarring - but that's probably age. My amazement is the publicity this is generating. I watched SKY News and this was the main story, overshadowing all the other problems in the world. Mind you, they obviously have an interest in slamming the BBC. Now though, we have the Prime Minister campaigning to bring back the show has his kids will be 'devastated' by it being axed. I'm not surprised he has put his two penneth in, given his relationship with the broadcasters is not at it's best regarding the TV debates. To me, this is not about a programme at all, whether you like it or not, it's about the cult of personality as a previous poster pointed out. It's sort of similar to the Kevin Peiterson cricket issue - a hugely talented individual but 'bigger than the team' problem. (By the way, how we missed him in the world cup) One poster said that the Beeb should give JC a final warning and get on with things. My understanding is that he was already on a final warning.

mikeinbangkok Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 "He was a mindless activist, a war lover, who found macho relish in danger and felt driven to prove manhood by confrontation" (Arthur M.

Popular Post Soutpeel Posted March 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2015 Clarkson is a self centered plank I'm sure the BBC could produce a better motoring show so it begs the question why haven't they then ? and point in fact, TG IS a BBC motoring show in your opinion JC maybe a plank, and even if he is, he has made plenty of money off being a plank So who is the bigger fool then ?...I am sure he cares not a jot, that Travelman868 thinks he is a plank, based on the rating and popularity all over the world its does seem that there are plenty who believe he is not 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grouse Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Just like Marmite (or caviar for that matter) it's a love or hate issue. In these days of bland grey TV that's valuable. Of course he's politically incorrect and he plays that up to the max! Be interesting to find out why someone with that fame and wealth could not get a decent meal at a top hotel. Isn't that what assistant producers are for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to find out why someone with that fame and wealth could not get a decent meal at a top hotel. Isn't that what assistant producers are for? According to reports i have read Clarkson turned up 2 hours late after going on the p--s in a local pub, and after being told by the assistant producer, ( who is probably being paid peanuts), that he couldn't have a steak cooked and all that was now available was a cold platter, launched into one of his, "Do you know who i am?" tirades and assaulted said AP. Which would have warranted instant dismissal for 99.9 % of 'normal' people. He is an obnoxious knob, with a vastly overrated sense of entitlement. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A brief search leads to a forum where a 'witness" says they all turned up late and pissed. The chefs had gone, they were offered a cold platter, 2 said ok 1 said no. Clarkson tried to sack him. There was no fight The Telegraph quotes witnesses as saying that a table had been booked for their meal at 8 pm, they turned up worse for wear at 10pm, chef had gone home, young AP had to break the news that he couldn't have a steak cooked. but there was a cold platter available which included, soup, cold meats, cheese etc. Clarkson said, "so no food then". Others were thinking," well surely that's food"! He then launched into his tirade, which included totally humiliating the young AP, calling him by the F word, C word etc etc. Conflicting reports regarding whether a punch was thrown, but certainly a scuffle with people holding Clarkson back. In the end a 'minion' was dispatched to the kitchen to cook the poor entitled dear his steak. As i said before, he is an obnoxious knob, and clearly a bully to boot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like your boss controlled your one existence, this weak producer/peasant should be spending 20 hours a day for his king. you want to work? you want money to support your family? you must bow to the gods!!!!!! never let the sheep use their brain......never!!!!!

ravip Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 It Might be a publicity stunt to prop up Jeremy's irreverent image. Top Gear would be very different without him. I doubt that, the BBC have announced that they will not be showing the next two episodes of this series and the third and final show may also be cancelled. For Auntie Beeb to cancel a top rating show is quite a big thing. They now have to find something at very short notice that will fill the spot and not lose them too much of the ratings pie. Soon there will be apologies all around, hugs and kisses and the show will continue, as the show MUST go on.... TG is too a hot potato to drop it to be picked up by a rival stations.... Proves that the 'good' people also resort to the lowest standard to fill their pockets. Maybe when the 'good' these things its not bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kartman Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Wonder how the Beeb's insurance cover is for this, they suspend one of the hosts and the show perhaps for ever and can't fulfill their contract to supply 150+ countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 7by7 Posted March 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2015 Top Gear is on it's last legs either way really. It's become a dull, predictable shadow of what it once was. I don't think their hearts are really in it any more. No excuse for acting like a spoilt child though. Agreed. It's a dull smug fest and as predictable as the A-Team in the eighties. Can't abide Clarkson. An estimated 350 million people around the world watch it every week it's on. No one is forcing either of you two to join them. No one seriously considers it to be a serious consumer advice show; it's an entertainment show centred around cars and the interplay between the three presenters. The slow, methodical approach of Captain Slow The puppy dog enthusiasm of Hammond. The oafish, self opinionated Clarkson. It is also gloriously un PC and willing to offend; which is rare for anything produced by the BBC these days. That's what makes it so popular; that's what makes it not just a programme comparing which family MPV is better value. On Sunday's (8th March) show they announced that all three hybrid hyper car manufacturers had finally agreed in principle to allow Top Gear to run time trials of the LaFerrari vs the McLaren P1 vs the Porsche 918 Spyder; although full details of when and where had to be sorted out. It will be a tragedy for all car lovers if this now never happens; even though the vast majority of us will never be able to afford one of them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
